Studying Rock Lichen
Brendan Moore was one of the first round of Grand County High School students to participate in Science Moab’s School to Science program, which pairs GCHS students with scientists for mentorship opportunities in the field and the lab. In this high-level internship, Brendan received guidance on how to develop his own research question and experimental method that he would use to investigate it. Brendan ultimately chose to study patterns of rock lichen development. We talked with Brendan about his experience.
Meet the Scientist: Brendan Moore
My name is Brendan Moore, I am currently a freshman at the University of Utah pursuing a degree in Atmospheric Science. I was born and raised in Moab, and have grown up with a passion for the outdoors. From age 14, I have had a love for all things science, and my recent opportunities with Science Moab have solidified my passion. My dream goal is to contribute to the conservation of the American Southwest.
